I'm planning to buy a PC case that supports GPUs up to 320mm in length, but my GPU is actually 323mm. That leaves me with a 3mm difference, and I'm curious if it's still possible for it to fit. Any advice would be appreciated!

It’s a bit risky to assume it’ll fit. Generally, the stated GPU length limits are based on where a preinstalled front fan is located. If your case is a traditional one, you might have the option to remove a front fan or switch to a slimmer model to make up that clearance. However, if your case is a fishtank design with glass at the front and side-mounted fans, it’s more likely that the GPU won’t fit.
That’s rough! I’ve had a similar situation with a compact case. If it’s strictly a fishtank design, you might be out of luck with that extra length.
